About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Hancourt is a village in the Department of the Somme, 12 kilometres east of Peronne. From Peronne take the D44 towards St Quentin. Travel approximately 4 kilometres then turn left on to the D194 to Cartigny. Go through the village of Cartigny towards Hancourt on the D194. In the centre of Hancourt turn right and at the end of the road turn left, when the cemetery will be found on the left hand side of the road.

Hancourt was captured by the Australian Corps in the middle of September, 1918. The British Cemetery was made by Australian units in September 1918, and these original graves are in Row B, C, and D; but it was enlarged after the Armistice by the concentration of graves from the battlefields in the immediate neighbourhood, mainly from March and September 1918, and from Estrees-en- Chausee British Cemetery, which contained the graves of 26 soldiers from the United Kingdom and two from Australia, who fell in September, 1918.

There are now over 100 World War I casualties commemorated at this site. Of these, nearly one-fifth are unidentified and special memorials are erected to four men of the 7th Northants, believed to be buried among them. The Cemetery covers an area of 586 square metres and is enclosed by a brick wall.
